I feel I've done a service LOL! I feel good giving advice on a situation, back in College since I said I was a psychology major 2 students asked me for psychological advice I fealt so happy! On Cloud 9!! !! (and yet sadly I suck at taking others advice and am still in a rut in my life) Go figure! :-)

I like to give advice, but it's a path fraught with danger, especially when it's psychological advice! I usually try to leave it to the professionals, who are more able to maintain an objective position on these sorts of things. If it's psychological-type advice, I always just say "don't keep it private: tell lots of people until you find someone who gets it". And then I worry whether the person who 'gets it' will have any more of an insight than me!
